Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

Zhao Youqing leaned on the couch under the window, glanced at Ji Zhen, and knocked on the window slowly and gently.

Chaoge appeared at the open window. He bowed his head without looking around and said, “I’m here!”

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Go make a pot of hot tea and send it to the people outside in the East Camp."

After Zhao Youqing gave the order, Chaoge left and Ji Zhen's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Brothers from the East Camp will be on duty at your residence for the next few days until you return to Yan State."

Ji Zhen picked up the teacup, drank the cold tea in it in one gulp, walked to Zhao Youqing, looked down at him, and said:

"So, you don't need to take extra care of them. They come to you, calculate the field work, and subsidize the accounts of the Prince's Mansion."

Zhao Youqing leaned on the soft back of the couch, stroking the purple tassels on the back with his slender fingers. He looked at her noncommittally, then suddenly smiled and said lightly:

"Madam, you care about me so much that you used the private money of the palace to increase my guards. Are you afraid that I won't live long enough to return home?"

"Yu Qing..."

Perhaps it was because Zhao Youqing's smile was too lonely that Ji Zhen lost his temper all of a sudden.

"The situation has been turbulent lately, and there are too few people in your house to protect you. The four people I brought with me are all men. They can come in and out easily and protect you closely."

"I don't want it." Zhao Youqing refused cleanly.

"No." Ji Zhen was also very determined.

For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence.

Ji Zhen looked at Zhao Youqing with a determined look. She could not investigate who leaked the information from Yin Gong's Office to him, nor could she care about how deep his relationship with the Yan State delegation was. After all, she believed that if Zhao Youqing did not have some tricks up his sleeve, he would not have lived this long.

But since it concerns his safety, she can't just sit back and do nothing.

The relationship between her and Zhao Youqing might be fake, but their love was real. She couldn't bear to see him suffer, not at all.

"You Qing."

Ji Zhen took a deep breath, calmed down, and explained to Zhao Youqing:

"Since you know about the Yin Office, how can you not understand how bad the current situation is? Originally, I could have let you move to the palace temporarily. But now, I'm afraid my place is not safe either. The Yan State delegation will arrive in two days. You must not go in or out without guards."

"how about you?"

Zhao Youqing raised his head and looked at Ji Zhen without blinking, with emotions rolling in his eyes that she couldn't understand, hidden and suppressed.

Ji Zhen couldn't help but pull Zhao Youqing's hand, gently holding it in her hand, and sighed helplessly:

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to leave the house these days."

"Because of those rumors?"

Zhao Youqing held Ji Zhen's hand tightly. He sneered, pulled Ji Zhen into his arms, put his arm around her waist, tilted his head and looked at her, saying:

"I am the invincible Prince of Qingyan, who can disregard life and death. How could I be afraid of rumors in the market? I don't believe it."

Ji Zhen rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, slapped him on the chest as he leaned over, and said angrily:

"Everyone says I'm planning a rebellion, how can I not be afraid? You are a hostage of Yan State and you are with me, and we are fake husband and wife, but everyone knows about it, aren't you afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid? I wish everyone in the world knew that you were my wife, so that no one could snatch you away from me again."

Zhao Youqing's voice became low and hoarse, and his hands around Ji Zhen's waist slowly tightened, making Ji Zhen feel a little uncomfortable.

She pushed Zhao Youqing, looked up at his gloomy face, and immediately regretted saying that.

"Youqing, I..."

"Zhenzhen, do you really not care how I know what happened in Yin's office?"

Just as Ji Zhen was about to say something, she was interrupted by Zhao Youqing. Ji Zhen had no choice but to follow Zhao Youqing's wishes and asked:

"How did you know?"

"It was General Yu who sent someone to tell me."

Zhao Youqing turned his eyes away, looking at the moonlight falling on his robe through the window sill, and spoke slowly, but Ji Zhen almost got angry when she heard it.

"What? Bojun told you? This guy, who is in the army and holds the position of general, actually disregarded military discipline and passed the message to you privately?"

Ji Zhen's anger exploded immediately. This was a matter of military importance, and she always treated people strictly no matter who they were. Ji Zhen immediately got up from the bed and angrily went to find Yu Bojun to settle the score, but was pulled back by Zhao Youqing.

"You're going to him now, but you don't ask him what he said to me?"

"What else can I say? Isn't it just that the witch doctor from Southern Xinjiang is causing trouble in the Eastern Palace? It was indeed me who arrested Li Yuanzhen, so the rumors in the market are not all rumors, which is why I have to close the door to avoid disaster."

When Ji Zhen thought about the rumors, he became restless and stood up again, walked to the door and said to Ye Feng:

"Go to Yin's office and see how General Yu is doing. If Master Lu is okay and he has nothing to do, let him..."

Ji Zhen pondered for a moment, and thought:

Yu Bojun privately passed on information to Zhao Youqing without permission, which was a violation of military discipline. Privately, she could give him a warning in the palace and let it go. But publicly, she couldn't let it go so easily. As a general, Yu Bojun did something that was not allowed, and he should be severely punished.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhen instructed Ye Feng:

"If there's nothing else, tell him to go to the East Camp and wait for me."

"Eastern Camp? Your Highness, it's getting late, the city gates should be locked."

Ye Feng reminded him quietly, but Ji Zhen took off a jade pendant from his body, handed it to Ye Feng, and said to him:

"The people in the Imperial City Department are familiar with Lord Lin. You can just take my token and inform Lord Lin."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ye Feng took the order and left. Chao Ge came in with a tea tray, smiled and bowed to Ji Zhen and Zhao Youqing and said:

"Sir, the soldiers His Highness brought are very well behaved. I followed your instructions and served tea to the soldiers, but they said they couldn't drink it while on duty. So I asked Mu Yu to keep the tea for the soldiers to drink after they got off duty. Sir, do you think this is okay?"

"Very good."

Zhao Youqing nodded and asked Chaoge to put the tea tray on the small Huanghuali table. Chaoge put his things away quickly and left the study quietly. Ji Zhen looked at his back, snorted coldly, and said:

"Bullshit! If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Those guys may have been led astray by Yu Bojun! I am afraid that they did it just because I am here."

Zhao Youqing shook his head helplessly. Looking at Ji Zhen's angry look, the depression in his heart actually dissipated a little bit.

Ever since Yu Bojun sent someone to deliver the news to him in the afternoon, his heart has been sinking. He just sat in the study, holding the note in his hand, waiting for Ji Zhen to come back. He wanted to ask Ji Zhen in person whether the four words written on the note: "Lu Yuhuo Zhen" were true or false.

But he waited until dark and Ji Zhen still didn't come back. His heart kept sinking, sinking into the depths of darkness, and he was so cold that his whole body was chilled.

He finally couldn't help it and asked Chaoge to go to Yin's office to find out the news. But he didn't expect that Ji Zhen came back first. What he didn't expect was that Ji Zhen would react like this when he mentioned Yin's office.

So, are those four words true?
